The archaeological department in the vaulted basement is dedicated to the Gallo-Roman and Imperial Roman past of the antique Tres Tabernæ [fr] and its surroundings.

[2][3]The art and history department on the second floor is dedicated to the history of the castle and of the town, to local and regional costumes and folk art, and to sculptures from churches and chapels of Saverne and its periphery.

[4] Thanks to bequests made by the family of Alfred Philippe Roll between 1952 and 1965, the Savrene museum owns nearly 50 works by that French painter, among which a monumental portrait – 286 cm (113 in) by 197 cm (78 in) – of his son on horseback.

Apart from personal and historical documents, and furniture, the collections assembled and bequeathed by the author, journalist, feminist, and politician of Alsatian descent comprises works of folk art from Cambodia, China, Ethiopia, Morocco, Russia, Sudan, and several other countries across the globe, as well as decorative arts, drawings, paintings by Western European artists such as Daum, Raoul Dufy, Maurice de Vlaminck, and Kees van Dongen.
